They acted as couriers, provided safe houses in neighbouring states and within South Africa, helped infiltrate combatants across borders, and smuggled tonnes of weapons into the country in the most creative of ways. Driven by a spirit of international solidarity, they were prepared to take huge risks and face danger which dogged them at every turn. At least three were captured and served long terms of imprisonment, while others were arrested and, following international pressure, deported. They reveal what motivated them as volunteers, not mercenaries, who gained nothing for their endeavours save for the self-esteem in serving a just cause. Against such clandestine involvement, the book includes contributions from key role players in the international Anti-Apartheid Movement (AAM) and its public mobilisation to isolate the apartheid regime. These include worldwide campaigns like Stop the Sports Tours, boycotting South African products, and black American solidarity. The Cuban, East German and Russian contributions outline those countries' support for the ANC and MK. The public, global AAM campaigns provide the dimension from which internationalists who secretly served MK emerged." 500 $a Includes index 610 20 $a African National Congress. 610 20 $a Umkhonto we Sizwe (South Africa) 650 0 $a Apartheid $z South Africa $x History. 650 0 $a Anti-apartheid movements. 650 0 $a Government, Resistance to $z South Africa. 650 7 $a Apartheid $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00811112 650 7 $a Anti-apartheid movements $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00810310 650 7 $a Government, Resistance to $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00945663 651 7 $a South Africa $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204616 655 7 $a History $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Kasrils, Ronald, $e editor. 700 1 $a Andersson, Muff, $e editor. 700 1 $a Marleyn, Oscar, $e editor. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117013035.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EE610E301DF111EDA8BEF4A423ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
